This dull skin that pulls, which becomes less supple and comfortable: is it dry or dehydrated? If the question may seem trivial, it is nevertheless important because according to the answer, you will not take care of your skin in the same way.
First thing to know: if dry skin is permanent (it is a type of skin), dehydrated skin is only transiently (and can affect all skin types). Dry skin and dehydrated skin have one thing in common: in both cases, the quality of the hydrolipidic film is degraded and does not allow it to ensure its barrier function.
In the case of dry skin, sebaceous glands are involved: they do not produce enough sebum. In the case of dehydrated skin, the water in the epidermis evaporates too easily due to internal and external factors.
To properly meet the needs of the skin and reduce the associated discomfort, it is necessary to provide care adapted to these fragile epidermis. And not to be mistaken!
